from old messages(I think - either youtube or PR's), it was stated that the mill was in really good shape and maybe only some tuning-up, belts and bearings replacements, a lube job and some electrical work was required.
as for a RS, if they do it before the start-up, it might push the share price too high for some to take the chance of buying in and people do not like RS's in general, but then again the OS will be a lot lower which may also make the company look attractive, so it is a catch 22.
MY CALL OF A BEST BET WOULD BE, """TO PR THAT THERE WILL BE A SHARE BUY BACK PROGRAM."""
(I hope someone from the company's HQ is reading this post and gets the hint!)
